Neighborhood: Good home base for our week touring there with no car. Walked everywhere, a few times took Metro. Pleasant15-min walk to Capitol and Library of Congress. Historic area has nice character, small gardens out front, brick sidewalks, 10-min walk to main street with Eastern Market (wkd street market, restaurants, cafe with yummy pancakes), Trader Joe and Metro.
Apartment: Clean, cozy, and well decorated. Kitchen had what we needed for breakfasts and to assemble a few easy dinners from TJs. Comfy sofa and bed (just mind you don't stub your toes as we did on extra bed posts on centers of side rails). TV with Prime and Netflix streaming.
Hosts: Prompt and friendly responses to our queries.
